If I can work around the train difficulties I am still considering doing this ride. Anyone else? @Fab Foodie, @Hill Wimp, @User21629, @Salty seadog?

That ones past me by, cheers.

Just checked and it's a Wednesday when I'll be joining ship.

Ooh, double just checked and it's one of my annual leave weeks so a possibility. I'll watch this thread.

 

[Salty seadog]

Erm, it's this Sunday?

Haha I read it as April.

I'll look into it.

Looking into it I can be available but the shenanigans with the bus replacement service between Brighton and Three Bridges rather put's a dampener on it.

 

[Salty seadog]

Yes, that is a bit of a bummer.

Right I'm gonna write to my MP.

I have to be in Horsham by 2pm at the absolute latest, so am working on a plan to try and route myself appropriately.

Right I'm gonna write to my MP.

Good luck. I have written to both of mine, and they are equally disinterested. I suspect they even share the replies.

Yeah, I googled it.
Right lets rise up. I want a train back on that track, not a bus. We will be a single issue group.....

 

[Salty seadog]

For this one day, you could get the train that trundles along the coast from Brighton to Ashford.

Alas the only way to get to the start in time is to Drive to Coulsden or similar with free parking.

 

[Salty seadog]

And then you have the problem of getting back to said car.

That being the stumbling block and meant my trip was scuppered.....

Lots of buses on Sunday, I thought I had a 3 train rout to Coulsden but it turned out to be showing me Saturday. Sunday there are buses again.

Looks like I'm out.

I think you should all cycle to the start point.

 

[r04DiE]

Are you OK to meet at Tattenham Corner?

Here? I'm not good with navigating. It'll be a miracle if I get there on time or even manage to meet up with any of you at all.

 

[Salty seadog]

I think you should all cycle to the start point.

Me too, We start from Dover.....

 

[r04DiE]

I mean that start point of the Pioneer Run

 

[Salty seadog]

I mean that start point of the Pioneer Run

Yes dear...

 

[r04DiE]

A tiny bit due west of the pin. The carpark they use has an entrance on Old London Rd. just by the mini roundabout where it meets Tattenham Corner Road, the B290.

OK, thanks - I have that.
